GDT: Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays - Game 2/3

[Orgfiller]

Keys to the game:

 

1. No pitch to contact BS from Stroman

2. Porcello at times sucks

3. Barney > Goins

4. Score more runs that the Red Sox

5. Give up fewer runs than the Red Sox

[Daniel Labude]

Lets Go Blue Jays!!!!!!!!!!

Please Stroman, ditch the nibbling for this game. We need you to utilize all your pitches to all quadrants of the zone.

Lets Go BlowShow. Just be the #3 guy you are.

Pats an idiot.

Pitch to contact

[THANOS]

Yep, still nibbling, and doesn't have his command. Today's going to be a long day..

[Orgfiller]

The first key to the game is not being executed.

[Candy Maldonado]

Sanchez>Stroman

[Jonn]

Barney had 10 years to get Pedo. Oh well just get Ortiz.

[Orgfiller]

I think there was plenty of time to go to third there, just focus on Big Papi then.

[Jonn]

Now that was some soft contact. Looks like he hit that ball with a duster.

[Belliss101]

Pitch to contact for the win lol

What's it going to take for this guy to get the message? The two starts he pitched to strikeouts, he dominated, and, yet, he's back to this ******** right after..

[Daniel Labude]

The key to Stroman pitching like an ACE is the offspeed pitches. He has been very inconsistent with them this year. When he has them going he is awesome. When he has to throw just fastballs...its a little dicey

What is the key to the game I missed it lol

[THANOS]

It's so frustrating to watch a pitcher with that much spin ability and strikeout stuff waste it this way.. His BB/9 is actually up while "pitching to contact" this season than when he was pitching for K's in 2014 and prior.

[Belliss101]

Porcello has his stuff. Might be a long day for the offense

[Jonn]

Porcello going to dominate this AnemicOffense.

[THANOS]

Eddy!!

He likes to get hit around in the 8th inning. Instead of dominating for 6 or 7 innings.

He truly needs to scrap the overall game plan he uses. He should go back to batter specific sequences instead of trying to work low corners to every hitter without possessing the pinpoint control to do it.

He is on pace to be worth over 4 WAR

[Jonn]

Poupy Loupy is back yay. Atleast use him as a loogy.

[Daniel Labude]

At some point they need to do a complete breakdown of his pitching and move him towards a more strikeout mentality. He doesn't need to be a strikeout pitcher but somewhere between now and 2014 would be perfect.

[Belliss101]

That was a strike last inning

[THANOS]

Awful.. 0-2 and can't/won't try for a strikeout.

[THANOS]

For f*** sake, stop trying to paint the corners with 2SM..

[RealAccountant]

There you go
